I'm very happy that this business exists. Pull & Save- South Phoenix has saved me big $. I have a 2005 Volvo V70 & 2004 Mercedes Benz CLK 500 cabrio. Only 1 time in 2 yrs, they didn't have any compatible cross vehicles. Prices OEM, are simply robbery, for a retired, automobile DIY'r that doesn't trust very many mechanics or people. People: I give those who just pay dealerships and shops, their house notes and only drive, but can't get dirty hands. I just won't let ,anybody, that I can't watch. Which is the case at 99% of pre-mentioned repair businesses. Yes, some mechanics are great. I haven't found any that I trust to do what, USAF taught me. My cars stay clean and in top condition.I have a lot more time than money, and I love repairing my own whips!!

Staff are polite enough, but costs money to enter with no guarantee of a successful trip as the website is woefully under managed or updated. The car I went to view was learned from 3rd party photos of a recent trip as their website doesn’t mention the make let alone the model. I did call the day before my visit but the agent who answered couldn’t care less and was less than helpful. On arrival I did discover the entry fee not listed on the website, the check in assistant did confirm the car’s existence (make and model) but the color was way off. And I have to ask.. if the make and model are on your system…. Why not your customer website ? As an IT expert I know the two systems can be integrated extremely simply. All in all I found the prices to be extremely inflated compared to new, only when they offer to remove the “warranty “ does the price make sense. Don’t settle for list, ask for the warranty to be removed as who’s expecting a warranty on old parts from a wrecked car??

On my 5th car I've purchased from them so far, best place to get cheap usable cars when you need them, and before you ask, the rest I ended up selling when I was tired of them (as I like to fix stuff) My latest purchase was a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria that they had for sale. Lupita the manager gave me an amazing deal as always, and it really helped this time around. I purchased the Crown Victoria for my brother, since his car had been totaled out by an oil change place, they had forgotten to reinstall the drain plug after completing his oil change. Luckily, they paid out his loan, but he decided that he didn't want to get into another car payment, since he's in the military and the pay isn't too good. He was visiting for Christmas, and one of our favorite things to do in Phoenix is to visit the local junk yards to find cool stuff and look at the vehicles, and I'm glad that we visited the Pull-and Save south location. The Crown Victoria was listed for sale, we asked for the keys, gave it a jump start, and it fired right up. After much deliberation we came back the next day to purchase a vehicle, they had held it for us as we were interested the day before, and like I mentioned before lupita gave us an awesome deal on the car. Put a used battery in it and drove at home that same day, next day we registered it, but unfortunately my brother had to fly back to Louisiana where he is stationed, we made plans to road trip to Louisiana when he next came by. A week later he was here and we prepared the car by replacing the intake manifold with an original one as it had a cheap aftermarket one that was leaking coolant, did an oil change, did a general inspection, and we hit the road. The only thing that we have to do to this car was replace the battery, change the oil, replace the intake manifold (didn't even have to do that, did it as peace of mind so it wouldn't fail during the trip as I've had one of these cars before with a aftermarket intake that failed), change a few burnt out bulbs and change a blend door actuator. We drove 1250 miles through Arizona New Mexico Texas and finally Louisiana, Zero issues. 4rth car, previous review. 2007 Ford Expedition I purchased from them has been a decent ride so far, replaced the timing components as you should with any 5.4 3v vehicle, spark plugs, new alternator, water pump, and shocks all around to end up with a very usable truck, all in around 2500$ not counting my labor, got an air freshener out of the dash that was jamming a blend door and got cold AC working again, hot heat, putting new catalytic converters on to get rid of a check engine light, new tires mounted (found a super nice full set basically brand new from the Pull and save north location for 162$ in the size I needed!), and an alignment, and she'll be mechanically sound. Great employees, good selection of cars and parts, I just wish they would offer some of the cooler or unique cars up for sale before putting them up for parts. I'm glad I was able to find my 1992 Subaru SVX from them, which I was able to see that they had in the back after coming to look at their selection and having one of the employees tell me to take a look around their new arrivals. I spotted the car at the very back and ended up coming back the same day to buy it, it was a fun project getting it back on the road as it was obvious that it sat for years, the fuel tank was full of rust, but as they described, it started on starting fluid, and was sold to me as such. Drove it around for a while and ended up giving it to a passionate collector, all in all awesome I mean it when I say this is the best spot to buy used cars, as you don't have the hassle of sketchy Marketplace people, if they're selling it they have a title for it and usually just requires taking an emissions test to be able to register it and drive out on the road. Looking forward to my next project once I'm through with the Expedition, hopefully they'll have something fun or unique with a manual transmission! Lupita is awesome, She always gets me a good deal.
